Today is Monday

Firstly, i managed to steer clear of junkfood, chickadees, breakfast with Nescafe as usual and few Hwa Tai plain biscuits. For lunch, despite my fave masak lemak, i managed with 1/2 bowl of rice (they do use bowl you know!!!) and fried fish and vege. *sigh*

Today is monday, and i shouldn't be wearing this white 3-inch heels of mine. Hectic as usual and today is no exception with plant shutdowns are everywhere. Late delivery, wrong items which costs us USD40K, super urgent expedited orders which kept me running the whole day.
I know i should be grateful as i have stabil and steady job but...sometmes, i do fee like resigning and go back to college or take up simple non-challenging job. Forget career growth. All i want is peace of mind. haha. i wish.

Workspace can be a battle ground sometimes. Office politic is a must and we must know who to talk to and when. Timing is an important factor. We do sincerely hope for the best for our friends (if any). However, personal growth in terms of money and persnal space usually reigns above everything. Cynical remarks and sarcasm,can also be found in the office directory and i do pity newcomers who get these w/o having their bullet-proof vest being nurtured and matured accordingly.

Talking about sarcasm, lots of people in the office forget that office means a place to work and hence professional etiquette complies. Well, not for me, having continued this write-up on Tuesday, Nov 11th, i am wearing shirt and jeans and my fave Adidas sneakers. Why? There was lots of running yesterday and i am expecting the same today. Well, it didn't happen anyway. My lady boss used to subtly remind us that professional attire is preferred but having a bunch of deaf subordinates, she gave up. We do dress-up to according to occasions though. Same goes to verbal conversations and speech where broken English is abundant and we do sometimes talk in made-up foreign language. However, when it comes to manners, well, it's up to individual.
